Reporting Options

A Survivor speaking with a SAPR team member does not initiate a report. A Survivor may speak with SAPR to seek information and/or guidance. A report (unrestricted or restricted) is initiated when the victim signs a DD Form 2910.

A Restricted Report allow adult victims of sexual assault to confidentially report the crime to specified individuals without triggering an investigation.
Information provided to the chain of command does not reveal personally identifying information about the victim or alleged offender. Restricted Reporting allows the victim to receive legal advice, healthcare (medical and mental health), and advocacy services.

An Unrestricted Report allow adult victims of sexual assault to report crimes without requesting confidentiality of their allegations. DoW law enforcement initiates an investigation, and the chain of command is notified. Unrestricted Reporting allows victims to receive healthcare (medical and
mental health), advocacy services, legal support, and eligibility for Expedited Transfer. In addition, Unrestricted Reporting allows victims of sexual assault to report retaliation in the SAPR program.
